Paul Arisa, a 27-year-old graduate of Estate Management from Abia State University went viral last year, after his friends solicited for help for him online to fight cancer…..But unfortunately he lost the battle.
Recall last year in February, His friend wrote:
Paul Arisa is a 27 year old post NYSC and a graduate of Estate management from Abia State University Uturu who has been battling cancer for years. His medical report states that he was diagnosed of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma by the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital.
Thereafter, the tumour achieved remarkable reduction. However, about a year after chemotherapy, the tumour started progressively increasing in size until it became a very huge neck mass and subsequently started affecting the left cervical lymph node, axillary and groin lymph node.
When no remarkable results were achieved, the doctors advised that radiotherapy could prove more effective. Unfortunately due to the high cost of the radiotherapy treatment (currently priced at almost 2million Naira), Paul is still currently waiting to gather enough funds to begin the treatment. He also has up to 5months unpaid Chemotherapy treatments, which also needs to be settled before any further progression with his treatments.
As Paul has been fighting this terrible condition for years, means that finances have already been stretched so far and his family are unable to meet the extra cost for treatment and require help.
Therefore, I am pleading for urgent donations of up to £8000. Please this is urgent as he is waiting on the funds to begin his treatment. If about 400 people donate only £20 he will reach this target, however please feel free to give whatever you can because every little help will go a long way.
Apparently, Paul was recovering, but unfortunately he lost the battle. May his soul rest in peace.
Friends have since trooped to his Facebook page to write moving tribute to him!
